Dislikedif simple rule based systems work then why isn't everyone a millionaire..... is the assumption. But IS everyone following a simple system? In my opinion not. In fact is everyone using a simple system but failing to execute?Ignored
mechanical = simple (and objectively definable);
discretionary = open to subjective interpretation, and therefore ambiguous.
Perhaps, then, we disagree on what constitutes "simple"?
Anyway, no matter. There's no point in getting into an interminable debate on semantics, so I'll end here.
